Sheath Motive

About kendit:
My dear Yogya friend, a person mention many times in first and second Enciclopedia Keris, told me that there are two kinds of kendit : real kendit and fake kendit: if i have uderstood well, the difference depends on the cut of the piece of timoho's wood relatives to the black timoho's stains in the wood itself.
Silakan could Ganya or some other forum's friend explain in the correct way this difference?
Thanks

Marco, true kendit is easy to prove. Just look at the keris hole, whether the black stripe of kendit goes through the wood or not. Very simple isn't it? The black colour of true kendit will even goes through the back side of the sheath.
